Restoration of the Maxillary Anterior Teeth in a Patient with Bruxism and Moderately Worn Dentition: A Case Report

Introduction: Definitive diagnosis of restoring worn surfaces and simultaneous control of the causes of these wears is considered a viable therapeutic option. In this paper, we have described the surgical therapeutic sequence of esthetic crown lengthening and restoration in a patient with bruxism and moderately worn dentition. Case Report: An 18-year-old male patient referred to the Periodontology Department of the School of Dentistry at Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran. The treatment plan involved a crown lengthening surgery in the maxillary anterior sextant and an internal bleaching procedure for the maxillary left central incisor of the patient, followed by the reconstruction of the anterior maxillary sextant with ceramic veneer (IPS e.max). Conclusion: Two months after the recovery of the crown lengthening surgery, crown reconstruction was accomplished. In addition to preventing biologic violation, the crown of the lost tooth and the vertical dimensions of the teeth were also restored.
